Well, what about Arnold? Watch when he hits the other T-800 with the binocular stand, he wasn't emotionless.

Funny you should say that, because I believe Tom Hardy was considered for Kyle Reese at one point. He really dodged a bullet there (seriously, he's made GREAT film choices this year).

Brie Larson for Sarah also.

Even though they probably wouldn't have been able to fix the narrative and technical issues, they'd have softened the blow a bit and made us care about them.

I can't take Emilia Clarke as an action star seriously when she can't fire a gun on camera without blinking like she has the sun in her eyes.

It's something she can improve on.
 
Hardy was considered for John Connor IIRC, not Kyle Reese.

And yes, he made a good decision steering well clear of this mess.

I am wrong and shouldn't of enjoyed something people hate. I wont be watching Terminator genisys anymore because I am told I shouldn't.

Just a minor nitpick but one none the less, the T-800 in T-3 is actually a T-850, a slightly revised and newer model. But otherwise most of the details about it are the same.

And Terminator: Salvation does recognize Terminator 3 because Katherine is Kate, they just had to recast Clare Danes with Bryce Dallas Howard due to scheduling conflicts (or Danes wisely avoided a return).

McG can say what he wants but the fact is they didn't completely ignore T-3 even if they fail to acknowledge most of it.

As to whoever or whatever reprogrammed that T-800 to go back in time and safeguard Sarah Connor, I doubt we'll find out because I doubt Genisys is getting a sequel. They tried and failed hard to set up a new trilogy of Terminator movies by deliberately or incompetently leaving out key details in this movie which made no sense to the audience.

I think the best you can hope for is the writers saying "we intended for this to happen" and explain what would have happened in the sequels that never were.

I just thought I should point out that in the Terminator films, Arnold plays a T800: Cyberdine Systems Model 101. "T800" means the terminator is a metal endoskeleton covered in living flesh and blood. "Cyberdine Systems Model 101" means it looks and sounds like Arnold.

Also, in T3 John says something along the lines of "Geez! What did they do? Get you off of an assembly line?" to which Arnold simply replied "Yes". That means that Skynet likely produced hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of terminators that all look and sound like Arnold.

Just thought that this might help alleviate some of the confusion about some of the continuity errors in the series. Not that there aren't any continuity errors. Just that some perceived continuity errors weren't really errors at all, just misperceptions.

One massive continuity error from the series came in T2 with the introduction of the T1000. In T1, Kyle Reese tells the police that nonliving tissue can't travel through time and that the only reason that the terminator could was because it was covered in living flesh and blood. This is why time travelers arrive in the present naked and unarmed. The T1000 is made entirely out of liquid metal. Under the rules of time travel set down by the very first movie, it never should have been able to travel back in time. That's the equivelant of the delorian traveling through time when it hits 60 miles per hour in BTTF2 instead of 88 miles per hour, or only needing 1.01 gigawatts of electricity to power the Flux capacitor instead of 1.21 gigawatts. When you create rules fro time travel in a science fiction movie/TV show/story/whatever, you have to be consistent. That's something every Terminator movie after the first one got wrong. No consistency.
 
This movie is awesome. A bad movie is a matter of taste and this to me is not a bad movie. !@#$ing love this. Watched it over 10 times.
 
WTF I didn't see this movie because everyone said this was a train wreck, it would of been a fun time out on a Friday night.

So many plotholes in the story itself, let alone the mythos of Terminator. So disappointed. Especially that I went to theatres, and dragged someone I care about to it with me.

You never saw how the T-1000 arrived. Perhaps Skynet had found a way. Perhaps the T-1000 could mimick living tissue so convincing it could fool the time machine. We don't know because they never showed how (or in what way) he arrived.
 
Movie was sooooo bad, I'm finally giving up on the franchise -- soooo much potential wasted.

Some say that the liquid metal can mimic human skin so flawlessly that it can fool the TDE. However, that can't be the case because the fact still remains it's not live, and only live things can move through time. The novelization and T2 extreme DVD text commentary explains that T-1000 was wrapped inside a flesh cocoon, that's why T-1000's arrival was done off screen.

Van Ling: That idea (flesh cocoon) was one we had bandied about during preproduction, but it was something that we thought would be too confusing to show visually it would have been like when Brett finds the shed alien skin in Alien. I still think it's the most logical explanation, given we see a flesh "mold" in the teaser trailer already. The other possibilities are that 1) the T-1000 could mimic the field generated by a living organism or 2) Reese really does NOT know tech stuff. Note that several comics and other media later played off the idea of surgically embedding weapons into human carriers and ripping them out of them once they arrived

originally there was suppose to be a scene showing officer Joe Austin finding the skin.

The novelization itself tells a story of John and his soldiers stumbling upon traces of liquid metal left in the same flesh mold that we've seen in the teaser trailer supporting Van Ling's exact same explanation.

T2 is getting re released. :hmr:

James Cameron, DMG Partner for 'Terminator 2' 3D Re-Release http://thr.cm/5yttEY

Arnie will be back once again as James Cameron is partnering with DMG Entertainment and Studiocanal to bring Terminator 2: Judgment Day back to global cinemas in a digitally remastered 3D re-release.

DMG and StudioCanal will work with Cameron to supervise and produce the 3D conversion using the latest technology from StereoD.

The new Terminator 2 3D is targeting a worldwide release in 2016, but a key target market is understood to be China, where the conversion will make its global premiere courtesy of DMG's China branch, DMG Yinji, working with China Film Group.

I wish Cameron would make a CGI version of the intro that he wanted to make and tack it on.
 
I hate 3D but seeing T2 on the big screen for the first time is something I want.
 
From the positive things I've heard others say of re-released movies like Titanic and Jurassic Park, I think it will be more than worth it. Hearing Brad Fiedel's score in IMAX is easily worth a 15 dollar ticket for me.
 
As someone who has seen the other ones in 3D (JP and Titanic)...it should be pretty interesting.
